]]> Comment on Mint vs. Yodlee vs. Wesabe vs. Quicken Online by Guy http://www.alexyoder.net/blog/?p=41#comment-71 Guy Sat, 12 Jun 2010 17:35:12 +0000 http://www.alexyoder.net/blog/?p=41#comment-71 Two questions: 1) If Mint is powered by Yodlee, and Intuit now owns Mint ... is there any real difference anymore? 2) How do these online tools compare with the desktop versions of Quicken, especially the most expensive versions? Am I wasting money buying Quicken Premier (I only update it every 3-4 years, and usually get a 50% off deal)? I have to say, Quicken Premier leaves a bit to be desired. Loans are not as easy as they should be to set up, they usually don't track well over time even though you give it the interest rate and the exact date of payment. And categorizing expenses SOUNDS great, but since it doesn't know WHAT you bought at store X it can't place it (did I buy groceries, hardware, household, or a mixture at the super-mega-mart?). It also gets confused by stock splits, etc, and now I have dozens of "placeholder" transactions that make Quicken unable to know how much any investment has earned. I find it isn't very good for anything more than tracking current balances and predicting future balances. Two questions:

My bank changed its internet provider last week, and it is now incompatible with mint.com :-(( I guess I'll try Wesabe. I used mint.com and the iPhone app happily for a full year.
